Gregory, who was also due to sit his GCSEs, was shot as he sat in a VW Golf in a bungled revenge attack for the death of another teenager.
Yesterday it emerged Mathias had idolized drug dealers and gangsters in Manchester and had been sucked into the underworld.

He wrote poems and rap lyrics idolising a gangland life and became 'obsessed' with guns and honour and respect.
Mathias begged to be part of their notorious Gooch Close gang and even wrote poems glorifying Errol 'EJ' Reynolds, now 23, a notorious hitman from the gang who was jailed in 2007 for 30 years for murdering a man associated with a rival gang.
One hero worshipping lyric referring to a killing and subsequent news coverage and jail terms read: 'Kill one n****r man then be gone. I want to get 21 like EJ. I on the news on BBC1. I can't get 25,25,25. I think I might die.
Heating up the streets. Upping the death toll.' Mathias, a pupil at Trinity High School, Manchester, was trained up by the older gangsters, taught how to use a gun and became a hitman for the gang.
Giuseppe was murdered in revenge for the killing of his 16-year-old friend, Louis Brathwaite, who had been gunned down in 2008.
Just 11 days before Giuseppe's killing, 18-year old Travis Bailey who had been suspected of Brathwaite's murder was told by police no further action would be taken against him.
Brathwaite's gang then laid a trap after being alerted to a tip off Bailey would attend a party at the Robin Hood pub in Stretford in a VW Golf.
The hitmen disguised in balaclavas were spotted 'lurking' in bushes in the car park before two of them rushed up to the VW and opened fire with a Russian made Tokarev 9mm handgun
